“Sasuke arrives at the Tatar Institute of Astronomy, an old astronomical observatory in the “Land of Redakku” to save Naruto, who is ill. In this place isolated from the rest of the world, for some reason, agates, a type of “dragon beast” that is supposed to be extinct, roam about, and the prisoners are forced to do hard labor with this dragon beast as their watchdog.
The prisoners were forced to work hard with this dragon beast as their watchdog. Sasuke, who has infiltrated the institute as one of the prisoners, tries to find a clue to a cure based on an ancient record that the Rikudosennin, the founder of the Ninshu sect, who was once afflicted with the same disease as Naruto, cured his illness in this place. He was trying to find a clue to a cure.” – Episode 282 Story, via official website.

“When I was in elementary school, the first CD my parents bought me was the NARUTO Best Hits Collection. I hope NARUTO and BORUTO fans will enjoy it as well.” – Humbledders comment, via official website.
